2003-2004 Odyssey of the Mind Long-Term Problem Synopsis
Balancing Act
This problem calls for the team to design, build and test an asymmetrical structure made of balsa wood and glue. The
structure will be wider at its top than at its base. The structure will be tested by balancing and supporting as much weight
as possible. The team will also create a container that will transport the structure a maximum distance of 20 feet. The
container and structure may not be touched while they are traveling.
